The Cliff Walk

Here are two videos: Part One and Part Two of the Cliff Walk narrated by the broadcaster Jim Sherwin from the ‘Tracks and Trails’ series.

Part Two is most relevant to the town of Greystones.

The video includes details of the train disaster that happened due to erosion.

On August 9th, 1867 at 6.30 a.m. the Enniscorthy to Dublin train derailed at the Brandy Hole ravine.

The second video also includes a visit to St. Crispin’s Cell.

Deilgne, the Irish name for Delgany may have come from;

(a) dealg: a thorn (so Delgany might have been a thorny place).

(b) It may have been the name of a person

(b) or dearg: the colour red

The soil around the whole village is of a reddish colour.

This is particularly noticeable after rain.
